IRS Transcript updated with code 846 - Direct Deposit scheduled for 3/19

This is super helpful! I've been seeing code 570 for three weeks now and was getting nervous. At least I know what it means now.

How do I even access my transcript? The IRS website is such a pain to navigate 😩

You need to create an account on IRS.gov and verify your identity. It can be tricky if you don't have certain documents they ask for. Alternatively, you can use taxr.ai which makes reading and understanding your transcript way easier.

Just looked into that taxr.ai thing you mentioned. MUCH better than the official IRS site. It actually explained what was happening with my refund in plain english instead of cryptic codes!

Don't forget code 971 - notice issued. That one always freaks me out lol

My transcript has been stuck at 152 for like 6 weeks now...anyone else dealing with this?

Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

It does way more than just read the transcript. It analyzes all the codes, dates, and amounts to figure out exactly where you are in the process. It can tell you if you're in review, if there are delays, and estimates when you'll get your refund. It even explained why I had a partial adjustment that I didn't understand. Seriously life changing if you're dealing with IRS issues!

Just tried this and WOW. Where has this been all my life?? I've been checking my transcript daily for weeks and had no clue what was happening. This tool explained everything in 2 minutes. EVERYONE NEEDS TO USE THIS!!

Does this actually work? I've been trying to call the IRS for weeks and can never get through 🙄

Yes! Trust me, I was skeptical too. I tried calling the normal IRS number like 20 times and always got disconnected. This service actually puts you in the callback queue and you get a real agent calling you back. Saved me from having to wait another month for my refund!

Another IRS calling service? Yeah right. These things never work.

I get the skepticism. I felt the same way but was desperate enough to try anything. Was shocked when my phone actually rang with an IRS agent on the line. They fixed my issue in like 10 minutes after I'd been waiting for weeks. Talking to an agent got my refund released so fast.

Just tried it and it worked! Had a callback in about an hour and a half. The agent was able to release my refund that was stuck in processing. Thanks for the recommendation!

Sometimes it takes an extra business day to process. I'd give it until tomorrow before panicking. Also check that your bank info was entered correctly on your return.

thanks for the reassurance. i'll try to be patient but im really counting on this money lol

mine was 2 days late last year. banks are slow AF sometimes

Same boat. Filed Jan 25th and still nothing. Called dozens of times and can't get through to anyone. It's ridiculous.

You should pull your transcript if you haven't already. WMR is useless but transcript will show what's actually happening.

I tried but couldn't get through the ID verification for the transcript. The IRS website is stuck in 1995 I swear

Don't jinx it! 🤣

Code 570 usually means they're reviewing something on your return. Could be a math error or income verification. If it's been more than 21 days you should call them.

tried calling probably 30 times and always get "due to high call volume" message then it hangs up on me 🤬

try calling right when they open at 7am eastern. that's how i finally got through after weeks of trying

They never gave me a straight answer but the agent hinted it was because I had moved to a new state and changed jobs in the same year. Apparently that can trigger their "suspicious activity" flags. Such a pain having to take time off work to go to an IRS office.

thats so annoying. the government thinks its suspicious when people...checks notes...move for better opportunities?? 🙄

I didn't claim EIC but did claim CTC. But from what I understand, anything with credits is getting additional scrutiny this year because of all the fraud they had with the pandemic credits.

You can request a transcript by mail if the online verification isn't working. Takes about 5-10 days to arrive.

aint nobody got time for that 😭 but thanks for the tip, might have to do it that way

I had the same problem until I found taxr.ai - it makes the whole process much easier. Saved me so much time and frustration.

this is the way! WMR is trash and only updates once a week at best

It took exactly 19 days from filing to seeing the 846 code. But everyone's timeline is different based on what's on your return and if they need to verify anything.

thanks for the info. guess i'll just keep checking and hoping 😩

They do system updates overnight which is why you'll sometimes see new info if you check super early in the morning. It's when all the batch processing happens.

Is this legit? Sounds too good to be true after my experience trying to reach someone at IRS

100% legit. I was super skeptical too but was desperate after trying to call myself for 3 weeks straight. They somehow get you into the IRS callback queue and an actual IRS agent calls you. Saved me from waiting another 2 months for my return last year.

Just tried it and omg it actually worked!! Had an IRS agent call me back in about 45 minutes. They said my return was flagged for review but they cleared it while on the phone with me. Refund should be processed in 7-10 days now. THANK YOU!!!
